If you can't find your distro here, you will have to [build from source](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Compiling).
### Configuration
Details on how to setup and configure the bar and each module have been moved to [the wiki](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Configuration).
#### Install the example configuration
For a normal installation, polybar will install the example config to
`/usr/share/doc/polybar/config` or ` /usr/local/share/doc/polybar/config`
(depending on your install parameters)
From there you can copy it to `~/.config/polybar/config` to get started (make
sure to backup any existing config file there).
**Note:** This example file is meant to showcase available modules and
configuration options.
Running it as-is will work but many modules will likely not start because they
require machine-specific configuration and many of the font icons will not show
up because they require a very specific [font
configuration](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Fonts).
We encourage you to use it as a reference when building
your own configuration.
#### Launch the example bar
~~~ sh
$ polybar example
~~~
### Running
[See the wiki for details on how to run polybar](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki).
